> [!NOTE]

>

> Remember to also install the [required dependencies](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/wiki/Required-dependencies) for your operating system.



**Alternative installation methods** are reported in the following:



  from Crates.io



Follow this method only if you have [Rust installed](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) on your machine. 


In this case, the application binary can be built and installed with:



```sh

cargo install sniffnet --locked

```



  from Homebrew



  You can install [Sniffnet Homebrew package](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pkgs/container/core%2Fsniffnet) with:



  ```sh

brew install sniffnet

```



  from Nixpkgs



  You can install [Sniffnet Nix package](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.05&show=sniffnet&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=sniffnet) adding the following Nix code to your NixOS Configuration, usually located in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`:



  ```nix

  environment.systemPackages = [

    pkgs.sniffnet

  ];

```



  Alternatively, you can install it in your home using [Home Manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) with:



  ```nix

  home.packages = [

    pkgs.sniffnet

  ];

```



  Alternatively, you can try it in a shell with:

  ```sh

nix-shell -p sniffnet

```



  on Tiny Core Linux



You can install Sniffnet from the official repository with:



  ```

tce-load -wi sniffnet

```

## User manual



Do you want to **learn more**? 


Check out the [**Sniffnet Wiki**](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/wiki), a comprehensive manual to help you

thoroughly master the application from a basic setup to the most advanced functionalities. 


The Wiki includes step-by-step guides, tips, examples of usage, and answers to frequent questions.














## Troubleshooting



  See details



### Missing dependencies



Most of the errors that may arise are likely due to your system missing dependencies

required to correctly analyze a network adapter. 


Check the [required dependencies page](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/wiki/Required-dependencies) 

for instructions on how to proceed depending on your operating system.



### Rendering problems



In some circumstances, especially if you are running on an old architecture or your graphical drivers are not updated,

the `wgpu` default renderer used by [iced](https://github.com/iced-rs/iced)

may manifest bugs (the interface glitches, color gradients are unsupported, or some icons are completely black). 


In these cases you can set an environment variable to switch to the `tiny-skia` renderer,

a CPU-only software renderer that should work properly on every environment:



```sh

ICED_BACKEND=tiny-skia

```



### ***In any case, don't hesitate to [open an issue](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/issues/new/choose), and I will do my best to help you!***
